When a zoologist was inspecting the animals living on both sides of the Orange River in Africa, he noticed that the antelopes on the east bank and the west bank were very different. The former had a higher reproductive capacity than The latter is stronger and runs 13 meters faster than the latter.
He felt very strange. Since the environment and food were the same, why was there such a big difference?
In order to solve the mystery, zoologists and the local Animal Protection Association conducted an experiment: 10 antelopes were caught on both sides of the strait and sent to live on the other side.
As a result, the number of antelopes sent to the west coast increased to 14, while only 3 antelopes were sent to the east coast, and the other 7 were eaten by wolves.
It turns out that the reason why the antelopes on the east coast are strong is because there is a pack of wolves living nearby. This puts the antelopes in a "competitive atmosphere" every day. In order to survive, they become more and more "fighting" ; The antelopes on the west coast are extremely weak, precisely because of the lack of natural enemies and poor survival pressure.
The law of the jungle is the biological law of natural selection, survival of the fittest, and the law of the weak. Resources in nature are limited, and only the strong can get the most.
Competitions as large as between countries, as small as competitions between enterprises or between people, must follow the law of the jungle. As for the results of competition, it depends on their respective strength, wisdom, means and ability to transform or adapt to the world.
Black and white, big and small, good and bad, strong and weak have always been interdependent, symbiotic and dynamic, and transformed.
The existence of competition is inevitable. The prerequisite for survival is to have tenacious competitiveness. We must face up to the existence of opponents or natural enemies. Healthy competition is the basis for everyone to grow and develop together.
Don't complain and hate our opponents, we should thank them, because it is their existence that will make us become outstanding from mediocrity.
Hokkaido, Japan, is rich in eels , and many fishermen make a living by catching eels. The life of eels is very fragile. As soon as they leave the deep sea area, they will all die in less than half a day.
A local old fisherman goes out to sea to fish every day. After returning to the shore, his eels are always alive and kicking.
The old fisherman's secret to keeping the eels alive is to put a few catfish in the whole warehouse of eels. Eels and catfish are famous rivals.
When a few weak catfish met Chengcang's opponent, they scurried around in the pile of eels in panic. In this way, all the lifeless eels in the cabin were activated.
This is the famous " catfish effect " in management!
